Hi,

Maybe I missed this, but I cant seem to find a way of setting my client (6.10.43 running on Mac OSX) to use 25% of my CPU whilst I use my machine, and 100% of the CPU time when Im not using my machine...
I use my machine all day at work and dont want to use all spare CPU time, however, I do want it to use the full amount of CPU idle time that it can when I walk away from my machine...
Any chance this can be added in a future release?

Many thanks!

Adam

I forwarded your request to the developers, who don't see the need for it now we have the CPU Usage option (where you can set the percentage of CPU cycles any non-BOINC application must take before BOINC suspends work).
